Le confort en bouche, un nouveau concept pour mieux comprendre les attentes des consommateurs seniors
2020
International audience; In humans, oral food intake is the ultimate stage of food supply chain and the beginning of food disintegration and digestion process. During aging, the oral health changes and sometimes eating food can be a real challenge as food can be hard to masticate, humidify or swallow. To meet this challenge, and as part of the AlimaSSenS project, a team of researchers from the Centre of taste and eating behaviour investigated the concept of “oral comfort” when eating a food in an elderly population. A group of 107 seniors aged 65 years and more participated in qualitative (focus group) and quantitative studies (tasting sessions) in order to explore the concept of oral comfor…
Microdiversity of Burkholderiales associated with mycorrhizal and nonmycorrhizal roots of Medicago truncatula
2008
The genetic diversity of bacterial communities associated with mycorrhizal and nonmycorrhizal roots of Medicago truncatula was characterized by two approaches. Firstly, phylogenetic analysis was performed on 164 partial 16S rRNA gene-intergenic spacer (IGS) sequences from operational taxonomic units previously shown to be preferentially associated with mycorrhizal roots. These sequences were distributed into three branches corresponding to Comamonadaceae, Oxalobacteraceae and Rubrivivax subgroups. Most sequences were obtained from mycorrhizal roots, indicating the preferential association of the corresponding families with mycorrhizal roots. A second phylogenetic analysis was performed on t…
Versatile and Dynamic Symbioses Between Insects and Burkholderia Bacteria
2020
Symbiotic associations with microorganisms represent major sources of ecological and evolutionary innovations in insects. Multiple insect taxa engage in symbioses with bacteria of the genus Burkholderia, a diverse group that is widespread across different environments and whose members can be mutualistic or pathogenic to plants, fungi, and animals. Burkholderia symbionts provide nutritional benefits and resistance against insecticides to stinkbugs, defend Lagria beetle eggs against pathogenic fungi, and may be involved in nitrogen metabolism in ants. In contrast to many other insect symbioses, the known associations with Burkholderia are characterized by environmental symbiont acquisition …
Effects of elastic-based exercise interventions on oxidative stress, bone health, body composition, neuromuscular strength and physical function in o…

Antecedentes El envejecimiento de la población mundial es reconocido por la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) como un problema principal debido a las discapacidades y comorbilidades relacionadas con este proceso, siendo las mujeres el género más afectado. Debido al deterioro y las consecuencias asociadas al envejecimiento, la actividad física y el ejercicio han demostrado ser estrategias eficaces para reducir el impacto del envejecimiento. Sin embargo, todavía se desconoce qué tipo de programa de entrenamiento podría ser el más eficaz para revertir los cambios deletéreos relacionados con la edad en mujeres mayores. En este sentido, el tipo de intensidad del entrenamiento y la modalidad…
Las obras musicales en las radios universitarias
2018
The Spanish General Audiovisual Communication Law does not relate to Campus Radio Stations. In this context, Copyright Collection Societies do not cover them in their catalogues of general fees. For this reason, the holders of these radios are forced to negotiate them. Althoug the Intellectual Property Law and the Order ECD/2574/2015, of 2 December, contain obligations for Copyright Collection Societies, on this matter its enforcement are far from being achieved

La desamortización y enajenación del dominio de Sueca a finales del antiguo régimen: la presencia de Godoy como duque y señor de Sueca
2010
La concesión del ducado de Sueca a Manuel Godoy y la adquisición, mediante pública subasta del término y las pertenencias de esta villa, provocó importantes cambios en la jurisdicción y administración de la anterior posesión de la Orden de Montesa. La modificación en las condiciones de la compra, confirieron al Príncipe de la Paz los mismos privilegios de los que disfrutaba el Rey como Gran Maestre y Administrador Perpetuo, lo que acabó generando tensiones con los vecinos, terratenientes y el propio Ayuntamiento. The granting of the Duchy of Sueca to Manuel Godoy and the acquisition by auction of the territory and the belongings of this town, led to significant changes in the jurisdiction a…
TENACIOUS GOAL PURSUIT AND LIFE-SPACE MOBILITY AMONG OLDER PEOPLE WITH WALKING DIFFICULTIES
2017
Life-space mobility, defined as the spatial extent of movement in daily life, is strongly dependent on functional ability. However, active striving to reach one’s goals might inspire older people to move in a larger life-space regardless of their physical abilities. We aimed to study whether tenacious goal pursuit differs according to walking difficulties and whether it is associated with life-space mobility in old age.
Shareholder Wealth Creation in Response to Announcements of Acquisitions of Unlisted Firms: Evidence from Spain
2011
We investigate shareholder value creation of Spanish listed firms in response to announcements of acquisitions of unlisted companies and compare this experience to the purchase of listed firms over the period 1991–2006. Similar to foreign markets, acquirers of listed targets earn insignificant average abnormal returns, whereas acquirers of unlisted targets gain significant positive average abnormal returns. When we relate these results to company and transaction characteristics our findings diverge from those reported in the literature for other foreign markets, as our evidence suggests that the listing status effect is mainly associated with the fact that unlisted firms tend to be smaller …
